Re. The Titanic clip. I seem to remember that Adam has always had a thing for Leonardo Di Caprio. He once said that if he could choose someone to play him in a film it would be Leo....

nonotme : your list is quite hard!!! I can't decide...i was going to Go for three, the bed and Breakfest Thing, but since the Others sound tought through, they seem to have too much Detail to be Made up,so i'm gonna Take a bold guess and say the bobcats. And you are right that i do Not drive a motorcycle. That would be SUPER Out of Charakter for me. This new Job i'm doing is in Wildelife Management, so we put Up These camera traps. It's my Job to Look at the Videos generated and see what and whos there and what's going on. 🙂 I do take vocal and guitar lessons. Musik is one of my two big passions. Playing Music myself gives me a deeper understanding and respect for the Art and performers. I would Love to earn a Bit of Pocketmoney to the side with it. Marionm, you were on the right track at first. My lie was the one about the Bed & Breakfast. (A friend of mine was the person that actually filled in so the owner could have a vacation.). I do have bobcats in my yard frequently. They even come up on my deck and now and then sleep on the deck stairs. They come around to hunt. I live on a little hill top in coastal mountains where there are a lot of gophers in the ground - may I emphasize A LOT. The bobcats sit quietly and listen for motion, then slowly approach the gopher hole and wait for the gopher to be near the opening so they can snatch it up. Local hawks also come to catch gophers. They sit in a tree watching and listening, then drop down to the ground and, much like the bobcats, watch and listen for the gopher to be near its hole. peace&love nonotme , I had a feeling that the bobcat story was true, knowing that you live close to the mountain range where I like to hike and where mountain lions/aka bobcats are part of nature. That's why I am always a bit nervous when out alone, though I try to avoid hours around dawn and dusk. I am sure that you appreciate a little "help" with those gophers marionm , yours was easy for me as there's no way that I can see you with a motorcycle haha. Thanks to the both of you for creating and picking up on a fun game. I was super busy yesterday with baking and hosting a small socially distanced get together in our backyard, so unfortunately I could not participate but read up on it at the end of the day. If there's a repeat I will hopefully be able to join the game.

If there's a repeat I will hopefully be able to join the game. Sizzling, Mountain lions/ aka cougars or pumas are much different in size than bobcats. Mountain lions vary in weight from about 115-220 pounds, females are smaller than males. Bobcats around here are 15 to 25 pounds, again females are smaller than males. (Bobcats in some areas are larger, up to around 35 pounds.) Mountain lions do walk around my neighborhood stalking deer, but that is very rare. I did see one on my road about two houses from my house once. I was in my car so not afraid. It stayed put, unconcerned about my car's headlights shining on it, for about 10 seconds while it continued to watch something, probably its prey, off the side of the road where it sloped down. That was long enough to embed the image in my memory. What an amazing animal, and pretty big. Bobcats, though, are the perfect wild animal. Beautiful, wild, but too small to kill you even if they wanted to, which they do not appear to want to do. peace&love

replying to No-Not-Me Anyone who has lived and/or spent time in the Santa Cruz Mountains knows that mountain lions are a part of the natural environment here. When out walking or hiking I've always been aware that a mountain lion might very well see me without me seeing it or being aware of its presence nearby. I've had three mountain lion sightings. The first one was kind of scary as I came face-to-face with a young lion when I was out scouting for a bird project. The lion was crouched in some bushes quite close to the road but was interested in some young deer up the hill a ways. I was not expecting this at all, but we made eye contact. What I most remember were its large paws and its beautiful but intense face. It didn't move, so I slowly & quietly made my way back to my car. Once back in my car, my heart started thumping - and once home, I didn't stop talking about it for days. Even now, my heart still thumps a bit thinking back thinking back on this brief encounter. The other two times I was in the safety of my car near Skyline Blvd when I have seen a lion race across the road on two separate occasions. And I agree with you about bobcats - one of my favorite wild critters - a bad-ass feline although smaller than a mountain lion. I've seen them sitting right in the middle of a hiking trail staring you down, just daring you to make it move - then sauntering away when it's good and ready.

Of course we are lucky to still have wildlife nearby. Though I do know the difference between both cats, I mix them up at times, especially as there's more awareness toward the larger animal, the mountain lion. A friend of mine who lives up in the hills sees them pass through her backyard at night pretty regularly, and I do never not notice the warning signs when I enter a trail up in the hills. Luckily, I have never encountered one in person like annala or my kids did during a birthday outing with a group of their friends many years ago. They were playing nearby our campsite and saw a mountain lion not too far away while we were preparing breakfast. Scary. Also, a local park up in the foothills does report occasional encounters, and a few years ago we had a mountain lion here in the suburbs hanging out up in the tree in someone's front yard until it needed to be taken down.
